Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40258 — Reports on the tribulation

It is narrated from Humayd bin Hilal that he said: Sayyiduna Hisham bin Amir al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) used to see some people passing him by to go to Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) and other Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He became angry and said: "By Allah, you pass me by to go to people who were neither more often present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than I was, nor better at preserving his hadith than I am. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Between the creation of Adam and the establishment of the Hour there is no tribulation greater than the tribulation of the Dajjal.'"
